Singapore is affected again by China anti-dumping probe.

https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/government-economy/china-to-start-new-anti-dumping-probe-on-some-bisphenol-a-imports

Singapore is an international trading hub and will get affected by China anti-dumping probe because China is our largest trading partner.

Therefore, it is better to build a cordial relationship with China so that we can get exemptions from China if the need arises.

This is the reason why we need to avoid property investments in Malaysia.

https://sg.finance.yahoo.com/news/malaysia-bars-foreigners-forest-city-053237909.html

Malaysia is not a place for property investments because of its political instability.  This instability will affect the investment climate and shatter investors' confidence.

The forest city project will fall in prices because Malaysia is going to bar foreigners from investing and living in forest city by not issuing the visas.

Is a HDB really the same as a leasehold private property?

http://www.asiaone.com/singapore/pm-lee-hsien-loong-refutes-notion-99-year-hdb-lease-extended-rental-not-sale

Quote:

"HDB lessees have all the rights over their flats that owners of such leasehold private properties have. You can live in it, you can transact it, you can bequeath it to your children - it is yours," said Mr Lee, at a book launch held at the National University of Singapore.

End Quote.

If a HDB has the same property right as a leasehold private property, why does the HDB address a HDB owner as lessee instead of property owner whilst the URA addresses the leasehold private property owner as owner?

This shows that the HDB doesn't recognise the HDB as the true owner of the flat but just a lessee whilst URA recognises the leasehold property owner as the true owner.
